Red Shirt (c. 1845-1925), an Oglala Sioux chief, was born to a white father and Lakota mother in Wyoming. In 1880, as a 35-year-old, he traveled to Washington, D.C., with Red Cloud and three other chiefs as the youngest member of one of the most important of the Sioux peace delegations. He is best known for his participation in Buffalo Bill's Wild West. After leaving the Wild West, he continued to travel and to be a mediator for the Lakota people.
